Destination Guide

Singapore is a compact, multicultural city-state with strong opportunities in hospitality, events, tourism, finance, technology and healthcare. English is widely used at work, while Mandarin, Malay and Tamil are also official languages. The lifestyle is safe, efficient and convenient, with excellent public transport, modern healthcare, diverse food and many shopping and entertainment options. Housing can be expensive, particularly near central districts, so many employees compare shared accommodation or locations close to MRT stations. Singapore has a tropical climate with year-round heat, humidity and frequent rain. Foreign employees generally need an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass or Work Permit, depending on qualifications, salary and the role; approval is subject to government requirements. Candidates should confirm sponsorship, salary, accommodation support, medical coverage and relocation benefits with Shangri-La before accepting an offer.
